Re: Update

About the only thing I have not done is uninstall Windows and reinstall it. I have another machine here which is an XP SP2 with much more memory and a Faster CPU setup. I will attempt th same install and see what happens and keep you posted. I want to find out if it might be some sort of software/hardware conflict on this machine affecting it.

Ok, you read the docs like I asked? Is the system up to the job?
How about answering the other questions??!! I'm afraid I don't look at the forum over a weekend, but if you care to answer my earlier questions perhaps we can take this forward. You do appreciate the repository is held within a database so for the middle tier (OMS) to communicate to it, it uses the listener? Tnsping is great, doesn't mean anything if there's a problem with the underlying database.

XP PRO

XP PRO with SP2.

It could be something with SP2 since it came out after Oracle was certified on XP Pro.

I in fact am going to try it on another machine with 512 MB RAM with XP Pro SP2 in a second.

I will let you know how it goes. I think it's something with the JRE, maybe the system is not allocating it enough memory or something since I only have 256. I was actually going to go out and buy a stick of ram and put it in this laptop.

The reason I was using this laptop with everything on it is that I was going to give a presentation and show some of the inner-workings of Oracle with the OMS, Repository, DB, Listener, Intelligent agent etc etc.(well you get the idea)

I've looked all over the place and found next to nothing as far as information goes.

OMS service problem

I have been looking for a help on the problem of OMS service not starting for a while and I found your comments the most useful hint I have ever found.

Let me ask you a question: You changed the hosts file, removed localhost and placed computerName.domain, I like to make this change but also would like to keep the localhost and maybe even the current computer name without domain suffix since I am concerned that I have other applications that may not like this change. In Unix system, you can have many aliases on one line for a given IP (for example IP localhost, computerName,computerName.domain). Do you know if the same thing can be done in windows?

Thanks

This is what I did and it worked on both machines.

I did an ipconfig from the command prompt to find the DNS suffix. Mine was tampabay.rr.com

I then got my computer name by right clicking properties on my computer and went to computer name.

I then combined it so computername.tampabay.rr.com

I then went to c:\windows\system32\drivers\config\etc and edited the hosts file.

I added an entry that looks like this

127.0.0.1 computername.tampabay.rr.com

AND IT WORKED!!!

I guess what the JRE is doing is trying to find an entry for your computer in the DNS. Without that it won't BIND.

I hope others out there on the net that had this problem find this on google etc so they can find out exactly what to do. Feel free to add a reply : )
